you know we know president obama, as they know no drama obama president, the severity of this and tragedy of this have not gone unexamined but there isn't the hysteria that we might have worried about. i think one thing you have to say, we know about the carpenter nails, for example, now that law enforcement and public officials have been keeping the public informed since this incident happened. they may not tell us every detail of what chronological picture they are put together, whether it's a domestic event, international event, event that combines domestic and international, with an individual or somebody in a network because they are looking at everything. eventually they will put the pieces together. it's going to take time. but they're keeping us informed and that's a very important part of the dialogue that we're having now. >> karen greenberg, tom fuentes, thanks to both of you. response helps with the recovery and investigation. that's what we're doing now at this minute. thanks for watching special coverage of the bombings here in boston continues after this break. >>> welcome

president obama today made it clear that the bombings in the city are considering an act of terrorism in the eyes of the federal government. the flags at the white house and every federal building are at half staff. we're also learning more about the bombs used to carry out this attack. federal law enforcement sources confirmed to cnn that these bombs were in pressure cookers. the items needed to build these bombs are said to be easy to come by which could make the bomb maker's signature harder to nail down. we expect to learn more at a news conference with law enforcement at 5:00 p.m. eastern time cnn will bring that to you live. we've also just learned senator saxby chambliss the ranking republican on the senate intelligence committee said, quote, there are a lot of things that are surrounding this that would give an indication that it may have been a domestic terrorist, but that just can't be assumed. i realized it was a horrific situation and that nobody deserved it. those were the words of olympic marathoner frank shorter after a terrorist attack, but this time he was talking abo

quote, president obama asked the rest of the country to pray for boston. but we need more than prayers. we need answers. we need peace of mind. and we'll never have that again on patriots day, ever, because somebody came out here on our patriots day and launched their own revolution. peace of mind. you say looking ahead, impossible? >> no, i don't think it is impossible. i didn't mean to imply that whoever did this had won in any way, fashion. i feel just the opposite. walking around town today, it reminds me, i was in northern ireland when 28 people and an unborn child were murdered by terrorists. i was on london the day after the bombings on 7/7 and what he saw in those places i saw today. people are defiant. they're mad, they're angry, they're sad. but they will not be beaten. if those guys, whoever did this, think they beat us, they don't know this town. >> they don't know bostonians. kevin cullen with "the boston globe," thank you. thank you for writing this piece. anderson? >> thank you, brooke. brooke joining us now with some new information in the
